Processor The board is designed to support the following processors: Intel Core 2 Duo processor in an LGA775 socket with a 1066 or 800 MHz system bus Intel Pentium D processor in an LGA775 socket with an 800 or 533 MHz system bus Intel Pentium 4 processor in an LGA775 socket with an 800 or 533 MHz system bus Intel Celeron D processor in an LGA775 socket with a 533 MHz system bus See the Intel web site listed below for the most up-to-date list of supported processors. 7. System Memory The board has two DIMM sockets and supports the following memory features: 1.8 V (only) DDR2 SDRAM DIMMs with gold-plated contacts Unbuffered, single-sided or double-sided DIMMs with the following restriction: Double-sided DIMMS with x16 organization are not supported. 2 GB maximum total system memory. Refer to Section 2.1.1 on page 37 for information on the total amount of addressable memory. Minimum total system memory: 128 MB Non-ECC DIMMs Serial Presence Detect DDR2 667 or DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM DIMMs

8. Intel 945GC Chipset The Intel 945GC chipset consists of the following devices: Intel 82945GC Graphics Memory Controller Hub (GMCH) with Direct Media Interface (DMI) interconnect ( The Intel 945GC chipset contains two separate, mutually exclusive graphics
options. Either the GMA950 graphics controller (contained within the 82945GC GMCH) is used, or a PCI Express x16 add-in card can be used. When a PCI Express x16 add-in card is installed, the GMA950 graphics controller is disabled )

Intel 82801GB I/O Controller Hub (ICH7) with DMI interconnect The GMCH component provides interfaces to the CPU, memory, PCI Express, and the DMI interconnect. The component also provides integrated graphics capabilities supporting 3D, 2D and display capabilities. The ICH7 is a centralized controller for the boards I/O paths.
The Intel GMA950 graphics controller features the following: 400 MHz core frequency High performance 3-D setup and render engine High quality texture engine DX9* Compliant Hardware Pixel Shader 2.0 Alpha and luminance maps Texture color-keying/chroma-keying Cubic environment reflection mapping Enhanced texture blending functions 3D Graphics Rendering enhancements 1.3 Dual Texture GigaPixel/Sec Fill Rate 16 and 32 bit color Maximum 3D supported resolution of 1600 x 1200 x 32 at 85 Hz Vertex cache Anti-aliased lines OpenGL* version 1.4 support with vertex buffer and EXT_Shadow extensions 2D Graphics enhancements 8, 16,and 32 bit color Optimized 256-bit BLT engine Color space conversion Anti-aliased lines Video Hardware motion compensation for MPEG2 Software DVD at 30 fps full screen Display Integrated 24-bit 400 MHz RAMDAC Up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz refresh (QXGA) DDC2B compliant interface with Advanced Digital Display 2 or 2+(ADD2/ADD2+) cards, support for TV-out/TV-in and DVI digital display connections Supports flat panels up to 2048 x 1536 at 60Hz or digital CRT/HDTV at 1920 x 1080 at 85 Hz (with ADD2/ADD2+) Two multiplexed DVO port interfaces with 200 MHz pixel clocks using an ADD2/ADD2+ card Dynamic Video Memory Technology (DVMT) support up to 224 MB Intel Zoom Utility

9. PCI Express* Connectors The board provides the following PCI Express connectors: One PCI Express x16 connector supporting simultaneous transfer speeds up to 4 GBytes/sec of peak bandwidth per direction and up to 8 GBytes/sec concurrent bandwidth One PCI Express x1 connector. The x1 interface supports simultaneous transfer speeds up to 250 Mbytes/sec of peak bandwidth per direction and up to 500 MBytes/sec concurrent bandwidth The PCI Express interface supports the PCI Conventional bus configuration mechanism so that the underlying PCI Express architecture is compatible with PCI Conventional compliant operating systems. Additional features of the PCI Express interface include the following: Support for the PCI Express enhanced configuration mechanism Automatic discovery, link training, and initialization Support for Active State Power Management (ASPM) SMBus 2.0 support Wake# signal supporting wake events from ACPI S1, S3, S4, or S5 Software compatible with the PCI Power Management Event (PME) mechanism defined in the PCI Power Management Specification Rev. 1.1 10. Legacy I/O Controller The legacy I/O controller provides the following features: One serial port - ( The Serial port A connector is located on the back panel. The serial port
supports data transfers at speeds up to 115.2 kbits/sec with BIOS support)

One parallel port with Extended Capabilities Port (ECP) and Enhanced Parallel Port (EPP) support ( The 25-pin D-Sub parallel port connector is located on the back panel. Use
the BIOS Setup program to set the parallel port mode )

Serial IRQ interface compatible with serialized IRQ support for PCI Conventional bus systems PS/2-style mouse and keyboard interfaces (PS/2 keyboard and mouse connectors are
located on the back panel )

Interface for one 1.44 MB or 2.88 MB diskette drive (The legacy I/O controller supports
one diskette drive. Use the BIOS Setup program to configure the diskette drive interface )

Intelligent power management, including a programmable wake-up event interface PCI Conventional bus power management support The BIOS Setup program provides configuration options for the legacy I/O controller.

11. Audio Subsystem The board supports the Intel High Definition audio subsystem based on the Realtek ALC888 audio codec. The audio subsystem supports the following features: Advanced jack sense for the back panel audio jacks that enables the audio codec to recognize the device that is connected to an audio port. The back panel audio jacks are capable of

retasking according to users definition, or can be automatically switched depending on the recognized device type. Stereo input and output for all back panel jacks Line out and Mic in functions for front panel audio jacks A signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 95 dB 12.
